  • Really? Agripinna would have been a good ruler?

    Wow! That woman was a murderer and a pervert but you’re singing her praises because she’s female. Your hate for men is really some thing else.

  • I tried

    I really wanted to like this podcast but there was far too much “like”, “basically”, “I think”, “I believe” without enough references for the statements.

    Stuff You Missed in History Class is a so much better show for actual history with references.

  • Phenomenally Awesome, Well-researched, & Well-delivered

    As a historian I’m biased to being addicted to history podcasts, but this is truly a podcast anyone can get hooked on. I recommend it to all my friends! It has everything: history (duh), comedy, approachability, AND a fantastic host. What else could someone look for in a podcast? If you want to learn about women in history (PLUS queer folks from history) and switch up how you’ve come to understand history from a man’s perspective then you’ve come to the right place. Well-researched and well-deli... more

  • Disgusting promotes violence

    Was listening to the July 9th episode and this creature thinks it was good a political figure was assassinated in the French Revolution because she does not like his ideology. I am beyond disgusted and the constant insults at American Republicans is ridiculous. This is the type of claptrap that incites violence because it tells other lower functioning individuals that prescribe to this way of thinking that violence is acceptable. Well it isn’t. I have lost any respect had for this podcaster and ... more

  • History:Gossip about the dead

    I was a history major; 3.94 GPA at the end of my college career; Olivet College 2007–teaching degree.

    I know how to research. I know how to write. I wish this podcast had been around during my college years! This woman completely understands her subjects and makes them current. I know many of these topics inside out and backward, but using trends and current language to bring everyone to life is brilliant. (I did this, too, during my teaching era.)

    I am thoroughly impressed by the quality of ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Disabled Regency Era Artist Sarah Biffin
Q: How did Sarah Biffen build a career despite not having arms or hands?
She leveraged a combination of carnival circuit exposure, strategic mentorship, and patronage, particularly from the Earl of Morton, to gain access to training, patrons, and exhibitions; she also built a personal brand around her “No Hands” identity and multiplied income streams through exhibitions, commissions, and teaching.
Queen Marie-Louise Christophe: A Black Regency Era Queen
Q: Can you talk about what that era was like for her being the Queen?
As Queen, Marie-Louise hosted lavish events while struggling with the legacy of the revolution and her husband's vision for Haiti's acceptance in the world's aristocracy.
Queen Marie-Louise Christophe: A Black Regency Era Queen
Q: Can you sort of set the scene of the world that she was born into?
Marie-Louise was born in a blended family in Haiti where her father owned a hotel. Haiti was a land of contrasts, with the wealthy Grand Blancs, free-coloreds, and enslaved blacks all vying for freedom and social mobility.
The Regency Era and Consent
Q: What is your book about?
It's about how the Me Too movement connects to the narratives in Jane Austen and how storytelling relates to consent activism, exploring societal changes over time.
Regency Era Heiresses and the History of Enslavement
Q: Could you give us just a sense of how common it was for women to inherit plantations in the Caribbean?
It was not common but did happen, particularly for widows or daughters, and women did inherit plantations from time to time.
